  • this is one of the best shows ive ever seen. so glad i got to go.

  • For Info : Bryn Bright replace the late John Kahn on Double Bass.... In the 70's a Vinyl LP was released and make a real success, but contract and royalty problems between the band & Grateful Dead Records (which own the recording rights), cause the very brief existence of the band... Grisman & Garcia never talked to each other during the next 17 years....sadly

  • dont know why, but I want to cry...

  • That was great! Thanks for the share.

  • Love this wonderful Gram Parsons song done by the experts.These guys were the best of what magic there is in music.This makes my spirit sing!

  • Strange, I know this song for most of my life now, the way the Stones played it and later I discovered the Gram Parsons version, but somehow this sounds more like it is the original. So natural and easy going.

  • After reading all of the comments, I want to add that this lineup did a recording under the name of "Old & In The Gray."

  • this makes me cry as much as the the version by the Jerry-led line-up in the '70s. So sweetly melancholy and soulful and plaintive.

    Beats the pants off the Stones version, which to my ear was always No Big Deal

  • This makes me miss Mule and Spud Boy so much :(

  • with Bryn Davies, double bass

  • Goosebumps

  • a lot cooler when Tyson is not the sponsor

  • a lot cooler when Tyson is not the sponser

  • Also... Jerry Garcia played the Banjo & Vocals in Old And In The Way. It was a great group.. Garcia, Grisman (mandolin), Rowan (guitar), Clements (fiddle), Kahn (bass). One of the best Bluegrass groups ever in my opinion. Old And In The Way and Hot Rize are my two favs. Doesnt get much better than this right here.

  • Lovely.

  • John Kahn the original bass player past the same year Jerry did

  • Duh!!!!!! you guys are killin me dont you know all kinds of family is checking this out

  • I really miss the days when Garcia played with these gentlemen.

  • What a gift to hear these men perform...I am blessed by serious musicians......BarNone.

  • What a gift to hear these men perform...I am blessed by serious musicians..

  • What a gift to hear these men perform...I am blessed by serious musicians...NoneBetter.

  • i so miss Vassar.....sigh

  • Vasser!!!!!

  • i was lucky enough to see vassar sit in with panic a few shows.. wow is all i can say. and btw Grisman is looking more and more like Jerry each year.

  • I have had the EXtREME pleasure of sharing the stage with both Peter Rowan and the late great vassar Clements.

  • Incredible. Too bad I did not understand how powerful bluegrass really is until I get so much older...

  • Magnificent musicians..I love Bluegrass its something to it that gets to my bones

  • rowan is such a legend, so severely un der-rated as a performer..

  • Awesome!!!!

  • EXCELLENT! Thank you.....

  • Simply beautiful.

  • this version is the baddest of ass

  • Mick Jagger wrote this song on our blessed Tennessee River while recording in Muscle Shoals, Alabama!

  • Great vocals but where's Grisman??? Mandolin part was very weak.

  • That is Grisman haha!

  • I met both Peter Rowan and Vassar Clements. Such nice fellows. I remember that they both seemed to smile a genuine little smile behind their polite candor.

  • @ezekieloak Peter Rowan played at one of my best friends' wedding. Amazing; had a blast

  • Very nicely done!

  • awesome and to the point.

  • Vassar was such a nice person - I had a chance to meet him back stage many a year ago and I was crushed when he passed on. A soulful performance by all with tears wetting my cheeks.

    Made me remember Rudy Cipolla and the Book Nook :-) Almost made it to 100!

    RIP Jerry, Vassar, Rudy.

  • That's not a "stunt double" That's David Grisman. THey played with each other often. They were in this band "Old and In the Way" together around 75. THey also collaborated a lot in the 90's on some of my favorite albums. Check out Garcia Grisman (Self titled) or Shady Grove. Great suff. BTW. Grisman has always had a long white beard. I understand what you were thinking, but there's nothing crass, just bluegrass. :)

  • @pabloclash dont forget the pizza tapes!

  • well hell jerry ain't exactly in shape to perform now...gee whiz...BITE ME!!

  • On America's Got Talent tonight - Susan Boyle singing Wild Horses. Mick Jagger would be proud. But it still doesn't beat this beautiful bluegrass rendition by Old and in the Way that is the world's BEST male vocalist and my singing idol, Mr. Peter Rowan singing lead. God bless Peter Rowan!

  • Hello thats Herb Pederson and he rips on the banjo. JG too had talent..please!

  • I was at this concert. It concluded the Merlefest that year. Yeah Jerry was gone and so was John Kahn on bass, but this was primo anyway. Peter's always great, Vassar was in a class by himself, and David Grisman is one of the best. Bryn Bright pretty damn good too.

  • The banjo here isn't as soulful as Jerry stuff - the total sound is not as full. Jerry did a great solo on this - there's no banjo solo on here.

  • Love this .....

  • can't beat merlefest.

  • i went to merlefest a couple times in the 80's and 90's when i was a kid and it was great. i saw doc watson and all kinds of legends.

  • Yeah, I have been the past few years. You can't beat seeing doc up close. The best there is...

  • IMHO this works much better as a bluegrass song than it did for the Stones!

  • John Kahn. It is worth mentioning.

  • Excellent!! Thanks for sharing.

  • and the original banjer picker was jerry "grateful dead" garcia....

  • The original bass player for OAITW was John Kahn. Just thought it was worth mentioning.
